Lyrics

Stand, stand to attention

Standing to attention, being alert and focused

The moment's passed you by

Reflecting on a missed opportunity or a moment that has passed

Now is the rest of your life

Embracing the present and looking ahead to the future

Dare, dare I to mention

Expressing the courage to speak or acknowledge something

Your laughter makes me cry

Laughter causing emotional pain or sadness

A speck of dust in my eye

Small, insignificant disturbance or annoyance


And I am unafraid and blissful

Feeling fearless and joyful

Here I come

Asserting readiness or arrival

I am unashamed at getting nothing done

No shame in not achieving anything

I'm a cavalcade that tumbles one by one

Describing a sequence of events or challenges

But I'm okay, just like Jesus' Son

Being okay or content, likening oneself to Jesus' Son


Bone, bone of contention

A subject causing disagreement or conflict

I've lost the count of times

Losing track of the number of times something has occurred

I've seen you fucking goodbye

Observing someone leaving or bidding farewell

So good, orderly direction

A disciplined and organized path

To pull you from the mire

Rescuing someone from a difficult situation

Your universe on fire

A person's world or life in a state of intense activity or crisis


And I am unafraid and blissful

Experiencing fearlessness and joy

Here I come

Reiterating readiness or arrival with no shame

I am unashamed at getting nothing done

No shame in not accomplishing tasks

I'm a cavalcade that tumbles one by one

Continuing the description of a sequence of events or challenges

But I'm okay, just like Jesus' Son

Reiterating being okay or content, likening oneself to Jesus' Son


And I am unafraid and blissful

Re-experiencing fearlessness and joy

Here I come

Reiterating readiness or arrival without shame

I am unashamed at getting nothing done

No shame in not achieving tasks

I'm a cavalcade that tumbles one by one

Continuing the description of a sequence of events or challenges

But I'm okay, just like Jesus' Son

Reiterating being okay or content, likening oneself to Jesus' Son

I'm okay, just like Jesus' Son

Affirming being okay, similar to Jesus' Son

I'm okay, just like Jesus' Son

Repeating the affirmation of being okay like Jesus' Son

I'm okay, just like Jesus' Son

Concluding the affirmation of being okay, similar to Jesus' Son
